What did Madonna have done to her teeth?

Also known as the queen of pop, Madonna has bagged 13 number one singles in the US Billboard Hot 100, which holds her at the top of the fort and even being crowned the highest-grossing female touring artist in history!

Her unique look and passion for voguing (a stylised dance originating from Harlem, New York) set her aside from the rest. She even had a smile that put her on the map - let’s take a look. 

Express Yourself 

Madonna was known for the gap in her teeth (also known as a diastema). It’s not normally a cause for concern, and in Madonna’s case, she used it as a hallmark of her bold personality, defying the beauty standards at that time. 

There are a few causes of a gap between the teeth, with the most common being: 

• Overgrown gum tissue

• Teeth that are too small for the jawbone 

• Too many teeth 

• Missing teeth 

• Overgrown labial fraenum (a small piece of skin that connects the upper lip to the upper gum)

• Lifestyle habits like thumb sucking 

• Gum disease 

It seems like Madonna’s tooth gap was genetic, and she didn’t let it stop her. Instead, she used it as one of her quirks - along with her beauty spot and eccentric dress sense - aligning with her image of embracing individuality. 

Gaps are usually more of a cosmetic issue. However, in some cases, food can get trapped and issues with bite alignment can occur, which makes maintaining oral hygiene routines more difficult. 

Teeth like a Ray of Light 

Madonna has never confirmed specific dental procedures, but from pictures, it looks like she’s undergone teeth whitening. 

This is a pretty common treatment for those in the limelight, ensuring they’re camera-ready at all times. It also gives them a youthful flair with the appearance of a healthier smile. 

Teeth whitening is quick and most patients won’t feel a thing. However, it can increase sensitivity and lead to gum irritation if the treatment isn’t targeted to you and your needs. 

It also needs to be done regularly to maintain the look, while following advice on avoiding certain foods and drinks to limit the likelihood of staining. 

Material Grill 

Over the years, the pop princess has experimented with wearing grillz, most recently in 2022 when she showcased her bespoke diamond grillz on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for her 64th birthday. 

She also toyed with a gold tooth in the '90s, so it’s clear she’s no stranger to adding some metal to her smile. While a great form of self-expression, they can be a risky choice, causing oral health problems, misalignment, and sensitivity if not maintained properly or professionally fitted. 

You can even get food and unseen bacteria stuck Into The Groove - nobody wants that.
